"Assistant Professor Law"

The University of Baltimore School of Law welcomes applications for tenure-track and/or lateral tenured faculty positions beginning in Fall 2026.

We seek scholars whose primary teaching interests include torts, contracts, criminal law, criminal procedure, evidence, business organizations, and legal writing. The courses to be taught are part of our strategic curricular initiative that will emphasize smaller class sizes and the fundamental skills necessary for student success on the NextGen Bar exam and in law practice. Other responsibilities include service to the School and University community.

We will consider candidates who are entry-level, pre-tenure lateral, or post-tenure lateral. Candidates must have a J.D. degree, with relevant practice experience. Entry-level and pre-tenure lateral candidates must demonstrate the potential to engage in excellent teaching and scholarship; post-tenure lateral candidates must possess a record of excellence in teaching and scholarship. We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds with a demonstrated interest in teaching, including those with appellate, private, and government experience, to apply. We especially invite applications from individuals who have a strong commitment to supporting our students and experience in supporting a diverse student body.
